Next up was a fairly simple (but rather evocative) sculpt from Julie Guthrie, when she had her own range at Grenadier:
I am of the opinion that Julie's sculpts were a turning point for Grenadier - previously, a lot of them had been a bit cartoon-ish, whilst her work heralded a more "realistic" style (if anything in a fantasy miniatures world can be described as "realistic"!).
The figure was really easy to paint; base colours, then simple washes, then highlighting. I was especially pleased with the way the bat-wings came out!
now her work really does make any Grenadier figure stand out, she clearly was their best sculptor.
ReplyDeletethis figure is great, you've done it justice.
